# PyPartMC (pre-alpha!)

PyPartMC is a Python interface to [PartMC](https://lagrange.mechse.illinois.edu/partmc/), 
  a particle-resolved Monte-Carlo code for atmospheric aerosol simulation.
Since PyPartMC is implemented in C++, it also constitutes a C++ API to the PartMC Fortran internals;
  the Python API can be used from other environments - see, e.g., Julia example below.

```python

import PyPartMC
```

## Features

- works on Linux, macOS and Windows (compatibility assured with [CI builds](https://github.com/open-atmos/PyPartMC/blob/main/.github/workflows/tests.yml))
- hassle-free installation using `pip` (prior PartMC installation **not needed**)
- works out of the box on [mybinder.org](https://mybinder.org/), [Google Colab](colab.research.google.com/) and alike
- ships with [a set of examples](https://github.com/open-atmos/PyPartMC-examples) maintained in a form of Jupyter notebooks
- Pythonic API (but retaining PartMC jargon) incl. exceptions and GC deallocation of Fortran objects 
- code snippets in README depicting how to use PyPartMC from Julia (also executed on CI)
- auto-generated [docs on the web](https://open-atmos.github.io/PyPartMC/)
- support for [de]serialization of all exposed structures using JSON 
- based on [unmodified PartMC code](https://github.com/open-atmos/PyPartMC/tree/main/gitmodules)
- does not use or require shell or netCDF Fortran library
- aiming at 100% [unit test coverage](https://github.com/open-atmos/PyPartMC/tree/main/tests)

## Usage examples

#### example object instantiation in Python

```python
import PyPartMC as ppmc
print(ppmc.__version__)
gas_data = ppmc.GasData(("H2SO4", "HNO3", "HCl", "NH3", "NO", "NO2"))
```

#### example object instantiation in Julia
```Julia
using Pkg
Pkg.add("PyCall")

using PyCall
ppmc = pyimport("PyPartMC")
print(ppmc.__version__)
gas_data = ppmc.GasData(("H2SO4", "HNO3", "HCl", "NH3", "NO", "NO2"))
```

#### Jupyter notebooks with examples

See the [PyPartMC-examples](https://github.com/open-atmos/PyPartMC-examples) project.

#### usage in other projects

PyPartMC is used within the [test workflow of the PySDM project](https://github.com/atmos-cloud-sim-uj/PySDM/tree/main/tests/smoke_tests/partmc).

## Implementation outline

- PyPartMC is written in C++, Fortran and uses [pybind11](https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) and [CMake](https://cmake.org/).
- JSON support is handled with [nlohmann::json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json) and [pybind11_json](https://github.com/pybind/pybind11_json)
- PartMC and selected parts of SUNDIALS are compiled during `pip install` and statically linked
- C (SUNDIALS), C++ (pybind11, ...) and Fortran (PartMC) dependencies are linked through [git submodules](https://github.com/open-atmos/PyPartMC/blob/main/.gitmodules)
- a [mock of Fortran netCDF API](https://github.com/open-atmos/PyPartMC/blob/main/src/fake_netcdf.F90) and a [mock of PartMC spec file API](https://github.com/open-atmos/PyPartMC/blob/main/src/fake_spec_file.F90) are used for i/o from/to JSON 
- a [mock of Fortran MPI API](https://github.com/open-atmos/PyPartMC/blob/main/src/fake_mpi.F90) is used for error handling using existing MPI API calls within PartMC

## Troubleshooting 

#### Common installation issues 
```
error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'cmake'
```
Try rerunning after installing CMake (e.g., `apt-get install cmake` or `brew install cmake`)

```
No CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER could be found.
```
Try installing a Fortran compiler (e.g., `brew reinstall gcc`)

```
warning: no files found matching 'gitmodules/...
```
Since git clone was done without recursive option, try: `git submodule update --init`

#### How to debug
```sh
git clone --recursive git+https://github.com/open-atmos/PyPartMC.git
cd PyPartMC
DEBUG=1 VERBOSE=1 pip --verbose install -e .
gdb python 
(gdb) run -m pytest -s -vv -We -p no:unraisableexception tests
```
